Although the use of the unit load is recommended in most cases, fo r this simple truss
th e N column could just as well have been ex pre ssed in terms of P (rather than using
P
=
/∂
10,000) and then differentiated to find
N
P directly. These entries would then have

EXAMPLE 3.8 Frame Analysis
Compute the reactions of the statically indeterminate frame of Fig. 3.5a. Consider only the
effects of bending in each of the members which form the frame.
